Celebrity travel agent says one star client demanded a ‘medium sized’ dog in all their hotel rooms, had to ask staff to borrow their pooches

This celebrity’s demand seems barking mad. A shaggy blind item was dropped on Joe Pardavila’s podcast, “Good Listen,” this week by travel agent and concierge to the stars Rob DelliBovi — who revealed one of the odder celebrity requests he’s gotten has been to fetch a “medium sized” dog to keep a star company at each of the celeb’s travel destinations. “We have somebody who, companionship-wise, likes to request a medium-sized dog in all hotel rooms,” DelliBovi said. “So, when this particular traveler gets to town, they need a dog, and they don’t want to own a dog. They don’t want to travel with a dog… which is, as we know, [a] pain in the neck. They want the companionship of a dog.” He continued, “So, there was a time when we were sourcing a dog in every city of medium size too, which is what they wanted. So, nothing too big, nothing too small.” The temporary four-legged best friend would be found at either a local shelter, or by hotel staff who were asked to part with their personal pet for the night. “We started honestly with the staff at the hotel,” DelliBovi, who runs RDB Hospitality explained. “We’re like, ‘Does anyone have a dog they want to loan this talent for one or two nights?’” There was one hint in the interview that the alleged pup-loving star is a musician. “On music tours, they don’t typically stay very long,” DelliBovi, said, further explaining the prospective pooch was sometimes needed for quick stops. “It was just some cities they were only in for three or four hours,” he said. “We were like, ‘Do you need the dogs for three or four hours?’ We have to be super creative.” If the star was in Minneapolis, say, DelliBovi would call a friend and ask, “Do you know a guy with a medium-sized dog who was willing to give it to someone they don’t know for 24 hours for $500 or something?” The fur-loving famous person also had to sign paperwork to take in a strange canine. “We had to create paperwork that the talent had to sign, signing their life away in terms of, liability, right?” he said. “If the dog bites you, kills you, or something like that… it’s not the owner’s fault.” Other weird asks from stars included an in-room colonic, and switching hotel rooms due to “bad energy.”
